I want to loose weight, yet I eat chocolate daily.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. lose weight.
Loose is an adjective that means not firmly fixed which is incorrect to use here.
The sentence talks about losing weight and the correct verb to use is "lose" which means to no longer have something.
Option 3 uses "weighted" which is wrong because it is the past participle form of "weight", a verb that means to hold something down with a heavy object.
Option 4 is incorrect as it uses "lost" which is the wrong tense form to use here. Also, "weights" is the incorrect noun as it is plural.
